I worked for a cruise line that would berth their supply ship on the Miami River on of the employees would be making sure things are in order for the re-stock and would be approached by individuals asking for a handout. They were told “No” but if they would come by tomorrow there is work that they could do. Can you believe that no one took up the offer. As one retired military man said to me: “Most people don’t want a job just a pay checque.”
As a former homeless drug addict, this is exactly right. I never give money to the homeless. I give to the Salvation Army, who does a wonderful job helping the homeless

give a man some money and he’ll have a meal, give him a job and a place to stay and he’ll be able to start rebuilding his life
